Yeah, I understand. I stay away during certain rallys and bear hunting season, I choose my times that are better for traffic, but I still cross the double yellow. It would get boring quick if I didn't.

Have they reopened it?

8am to 8pm on the NC side only. It's pretty much a closed course track with 2 highway patrols to watch out for.

True but I do tend to linger longer than most...

LOL the real crime is that asshole who buys an orange tire for his KTM.

Who does this? What basic thought process mechanism is absent in such people?

I have and put me on a sportbike again I would. Otherwise I guess I am the Harley.

If he felt really bad he would have turned back around to check
